Influence of deep water formation on the variability of the meridional overturning circulation in the Atlantic Ocean
The oceanic meridional overturning circulation (MOC) and the associated poleward heat transport contribute substantially to the energy balance of present climate. One fundamental driver of the MOC is deep water formation in the North Atlantic. The objective of this study is to investigate the influe...
